Everybody wants to rule the world: This week at The London Improv Comedy Club

Yo. What's up? Yo. Hello there. Yo.

We so fly, we make shows. Like fly shows, featuring tiny little winged fellows jumping about and juggling and that. We also do comedy and improv. Not with flies, though, but with human flies leaping from tree to tree with only your laughter as a cushion should they fall. Come, support and enjoy. They do it for you.

And it's the last week of February, which can mean only one thing. If you're an NUS or NHS cardholder it's your last week of free shows. So don't waste it.


Tuesday 28th February
ARTHUR
and MUSIC BOX
Arthur are here. Here Arthur are. Are Arthur here? Here are Arthur. Bustin' out their short-form thang, games and scenes from the newest troupe called Arthur in town.

Arthur has a ball. A red ball. A big red ball.

They'll be followed by a mighty Improvised Musical from those intrepid songsters Music Box (@musicboximprov). If it's adventure you want you can't get much better than this, as the brightly dressed folk take your offers and create a magical story out of their imaginations.
"A real improvised musical with narrative, genuinely good songs, sometimes moving, very funny songs and all that stuff that people work on for years writing a musical."
- Earls Court Festival

Tuesday 28th February
Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.
Cost: £5 on the door, FREE to NHS/NUS cardholders.


Wednesday 22nd February

CATCH23: IMPROV COMEDY SHOWDOWN
EVERY LAST WEDNESDAY OF THE MONTH
Catch23 is a improv comedy show in which three teams of improvisers fight the hell out of each other using God's intended weapons of wit and dick-jokes.

They each have twenty-three minutes across four rounds to pull their best improv out of the bag and onto the stage, where it is voted on by you! The audience! Totally unfairly!

This Wednesday the cast includes such awesome greats as Charlotte Gittins (Monkey Toast), Jana Carpenter (Spontaneity Shop, Doctor Who's Line Is It Anyway?), Herman Gambhir and Lauren Silver (Impropriety), Ryan Miller (Marbles), Jinni Lyons (8bit) and our very own Jonathan Funkhouse (in bed).

Expect nothing less than improvised warfare on a nuclear scale (very small).

Wednesday 29th February
Time: Doors 7:45pm, Show 8pm - 10pm with interval.
Cost: £5 on the door, FREE to NUS/NHS card holders
Where: The Miller, 96 Snowsfields Road, London, SE1 3SS.
